I've got a list of a few bugs (text below) and have screenshots/logs (about .5Mb). They are mostly very minor things. Is it best to report them separately or just in one post?
Thanks
=== after exit.jpg + logs for exit bug
Sometime GBPVR leaves its image on the screen after exit. Doesn't affect anything. Screenshot from a different time than logs.
=== logs for skin bug
Selecting a different skin from within the player causes it to lock up for a while. Killing it and restarting it works fine, and changing the skin within Config works fine.
=== tv guide.jpg
The first two are cosmetic
1) item circled on left - when an error in the EPG data reports two overlapping programs, the text can overlap too (when the program titles are long enough and the program times are short enough). Highlighting either program gives its text priority.
Suggestion: give the later program starting time priority - ie - if a new program is starting, assume the old one is finishing.
2) item circled on right - program name too long for allocated box. Screenshot is from the previous version and I've just noticed this has been fixed in the new version (three lines of text now display correctly), but for programs where the name still doesn't fit on 3 lines (see program in bottom right), name just ends abruptly. Maybe it's just Scotland, but there seem to be lots of 5 minute programs with long names here.
Suggestion: use '...' at the end of the last bit of text that fits in the box
=== tv guide accents.jpg
EPG programs containing gaelic letters (with accents) don't display correctly - see comparision with listing on BBC site. This is using over the air EPG. Not sure if EPG overair source or GBPVR causes this.
=== channel scanning.jpg, epg update screen.jpg
1) Minor cosmetic request - could you include the "(1 of 6)" info that appears on the "Digital Channel Mapping" window on the "Updating EPG" window (below on first screenshot), and the Update EPG of GBPVR (second screenshot)?
2) Minor cosmetic bug - The red circle on the second screen shot shows where text is being clipped in the Update EPG screen with the program.
=== config sources.jpg
Minor cosmetic request - in Config, Capture sources, grey out "Edit" and "Remove" when no source selected, similarly to how the 2 boxes below (presumably "Up" and "Down") are greyed out.
=== old tv.jpg
I use a 4:3 laptop to view TV. Some stations broadcast in 16:9 widescreen, even when broadcasting 4:3 programs. Is there any way to get the image to fill the screen? Screen shots show all available formats on F7.
=== tv guide scrolling.jpg
Slightly wierd one, happens on both full screen TV guide and F1 TV guide.
1) As per the screen shot, get the TV guide such that either the last channel or the first channel is in the bottom row, and the highlighted program is also in the bottom row. Press "Up". The whole guide scrolls leaving the highlight on the bottom row, when the expected action is for the highlight to move up one channel.
2) Similar, but scrolling down. Get the TV guide such that the last channel is in the bottom row, and the highlighted program is in the top row. Press "Down". The whole guide scrolls leaving the highlight on the top row, when the expected action is for the highlight to move down one channel.
=== tv guide descender.jpg
Minor cosmetic - descenders cut off in third line of text - look at "g" in "tonight" of highlighted program
=== tv guide pixel widths.jpg
Very, very, very minor cosmetic - the last row of the guide touches the white line at the bottom. All other rows miss it by 1 pixel!
=== tv guide spillage.jpg
Very minor cosmetic - the "m" of the highlighted (very narrow) program spills into the next program box
=== volume control
I have buttons on my laptop for volume control. If I use them, the volume bar shows up and the volume is adjusted. If I use the left and right arrow keys, the volume bar shows up and the volume is adjusted.
However - if I use the left and right arrow keys after using the laptop volume controls, it seems to resort to the volume level as it was before the laptop volume buttons were used. Pressing the left arrow key (to decrease volume) can actually result in the volume being increased!
Use right arrow key to increase volume.
Use laptop (volume -) key to decrease volume a few steps.
Use left arrow key - volume increases!
=== Record current program - TV guide
Watching TV, press CTRL-K to record and watch current program
1) Aspect ratio gets lost, have to use F7. Have a feeling this has been reported already.
2) Pressing F1 brings up TV guide but won't clear it - only [ESC] works. When just watching TV, F1 both brings up and clears the guide.
=== Skipping band on channel scan
When scanning channels (having selected Scotland, Blackhill as transmitter) it skips the first channel and only scans 2 to 6. I edited the file (0090.ini) in notepad - changing it to 7 channels, with a duplicate on the first, numbered 1 to 7 - and that worked. Then I changed it back to how it was, with just 6 channels, and it worked. Wierd. Possibly a LF instead of a CR, or something like that?
Thanks
